From the reviews
Hot elevation studios in Capitola, Ca is my favorite place to practice, yoga and ride a cycle & do some TRX. This place is ideal. If you like it hot hot, hot !! The people are nice and there is lots of room and space to practice the have showers and even adorable clothes to choose from if you forget something, they…
I am completely OBSESSED with this studio. There are so many class options, I find myself wanting to come twice a day. The classes are challenging, the teachers are great and the staff is super friendly. They always greet me by name and make me feel so welcomed.
If you want abs, take pilates with Rae. I would follow her into the gates of hell. High intensity but absolutely worth every second. The staff is beyond friendly and attentive/accommodating, everything is clean, and the energy of everyone who works at this studio or attends classes is AMAZING and will bring you back…
UPDATE SINCE I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING CLASSES: One thing that elevation could improve on though is reaching teaching front desk staff members about gender inclusion.
Teacher training at Hot Elevation Studios
Hot Elevation Studios comes up for teacher training — confirmed on their own site. If you're thinking about becoming an instructor, a few things are worth asking up front. First, which certification the program leads to — most hot-yoga trainings are Yoga Alliance registered (RYT-200 or RYT-500), and the style matters: a Bikram or hot-power lineage trains differently than a hot-vinyasa or sculpt one. Second, the schedule and prerequisites — cohorts often run in intensive weekend blocks or over several months, and many studios want you practicing regularly there first. Third, cost and payment plans, and whether tuition includes an unlimited membership for the training period. Teacher training is a real commitment of time and money, so it's worth a call or an info session before you enroll.
Your first hot yoga class at Hot Elevation Studios
Nervous about your first hot class? Almost everyone is, and a good studio expects beginners to walk in the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: the room is heated, so it feels intense for the first few minutes — rest in child's pose any time you need to, no one will bat an eye. Hydrate: drink water through the day before class, not just as you arrive, and bring a bottle. What to bring: a mat and towel, water, and a change of clothes; wear something light you don't mind sweating through, and skip a heavy meal in the couple of hours beforehand. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign in and set up. It gets easier fast — most people say their third class feels completely different from their first.
